Thanks for being the guy to fix the streets, instead of the one million other guys who only bitch about things. [Beer]

What has made this year so bad is the weather pattern we have had, we will get a skiff of snow, it melts off during the day and re freezes at night.
More effective than a 90# jackhammer.
Colorado is historical for this type of cycle which makes our roads ripe with potholes.
And yeah, unless death or serious injury results from one, ain't nobody paying unless it's from OUR coffers.

Well, theres part of the problem right there. Roads should be paid for out of the general fund too.

And Denver is obviously the WORST place in 1,000 mile radius to work. Rudest mo**** fuc**** around. It makes it frustrating to go to work. Some days I wish they would stop all road work for a year, and see how people like it. Don't get me wrong, I hate shi**y roads as much as the next guy! But geez, quit throwing sh*t at me! I'm a nice feller with a wife and 2 little ones I would like to make it home to! I could go on, but I need to refresh my drink.

Throwing stuff at you and cussing at road crews is NOT cool, not at all.

LOL! Most of you guys have clearly never been to the Midwest... Now, THOSE are potholes!

Hell, I saw a guy fishing out of one in Detroit!

What the hell is wrong with people!?!?! Buncha ungrateful BASTARDS!!

I always slow down, smile and wave at the flag person, I get some funny looks but that's ok.

Last time I was in Detroit, it was like driving through a war zone, dodging craters in what they refer to as 'roads'.

You may have actually been in a warzone. They filmed a bunch of scenes from the new Red Dawn flick in Detroit.. One of my friends from highschool was an extra during one of the scenes where they blew up a few cars and blew all the windows out of a building.... Turns out the whole area (3 or 4 city blocks) had been abandoned, so the film makers just bought it from the city and blew it all up.

I can't even imagine throwing trash at a person working.

I have a company vehicle. It's pothole proof. I can hit them as hard and fast as I want.
